I'd say get the 38 especially if you're manual trans... Are you going to remove the center wall to open up the plenum?
It'll look sorta like my porting for the 4bbl holley (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=30234) but with a lot less meat taken from the left and right edge.

Also get an upgraded fuel pump... or you'll suck arse off the line.

If you're getting the 38 you have to buy the carb and the adapter plate sepetately. You'll also need the thottle cable bracket and an ait cleaner assembly. The prices should be listed on carbs.net
